jaidagr8st, This problem has been posted by a number of members in the past. I do not think that a fix has been found for it.
You could try to use testdisk to delete the partition as discribed in this post
http://www.mympxplayer.org/wanted-ha...rs-vt1864.html
It may not allow you to delete the partition but it is worth a try.
